I also welcome to our Public Gallery guests of Senator Fiona O'Loughlin. Mary McCarthy is here. Her granduncle, Gerald Bartley, was a former Fianna Fáil Deputy and Minister. I also welcome her husband, Liam, and her friends, who are here today. I am glad they are here. I offer our sympathies on the bereavement of her mum, who passed away recently. Mary is very welcome to be with us in Leinster House. It is an honour for us to have you here. Thank you for your family's service to public life in our country. I am glad that Senator O'Loughlin is here with her today to commemorate not just her dad and mum but also because our guests are here as citizens of Ireland, in the Oireachtas, where her granduncle served.
